However, whether he’s played the outright villain or reluctant ally, the motivation of the petulant child stems from painful daddy issues and sibling jealousy. The last ten years of the MCU have revealed Loki to be a likable yet untrustworthy cohort. Such wishful desire is fleeting to the viewer as Thanos drags the limp body of Thor towards his brother. The presumption is that many escaped during the initial melee, and eagle-eyed viewers place their hope in spotting The Grandmaster’s pleasure craft drifting away during a few brief exterior shots. We see no sign of Valkyrie ( Tessa Thompson), Korg ( Taika Waititi), Meik, or the rescued stragglers of Asgard. With one elemental crystal locked firmly into a knuckle of his Infinity Gauntlet, Thanos and his Black Order raiding party have ripped the Stateman to shreds. Loki’s former puppet master, The Mad Titan Thanos ( Josh Brolin) is done sitting on the sidelines and has already begun his collection of the Marvel MacGuffins offscreen when his cronies decimated Xandar in the retrieval of The Power Stone. It turns out that their mythological bravado was all for naught. The last time we saw him in the mid-credits stinger of Thor: Ragnarok, Odinson and his mischievous brother Loki ( Tom Hiddleston) were debating the logic of returning to an Earth barely recovered from the Battle of New York. Merely minutes after fleeing from an exploding homeworld, the Mighty Thor ( Chris Hemsworth) rests crumpled on the fiery floor of the Asgardian refugee vessel Statesman.
